ROLLING COLTER.

SPECIFICATION'forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,510, dated November 16, 1886. Application filed December 10, 1885. Serial No. 185,219. (No modeLl T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LORENZO D. BALL and JOHN T. BENDER, citizens of the UnitedStates, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rolling Oolters; and

we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing colter attached to a plow-beam. Fig. 2 is a detached View of the frame to which the different parts of the colter are attached. Fig. 3 is adetached View of the bent or curved bolt. Fig. 4 is a detached view of the king-bolt. Fig. 5 is a detached perspective View of the socket and a portion of the colter-arms. Fig. 6 is adetached perspective view of one of the adjusting and retaining arms. Fig. 7 is a detached View of the clamping plate or bar.

The present invention has relation to rolling colters; and its nature consists in the different parts and combination ofparts, hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame proper, and may be substantially of the form shown, and, as shown, the top or upper side of this frame is provided with the groove a, which is for the purpose of receiving the bottom or under side of a V or U shaped plow-beam, and at the same time will permit this frame to fit up close to the under side of a wood beam should the wood beam be provided with a stay rod or bar; but it will be seen that in case the beam to which is attached the frame A is not V or U shaped, or is not provided with a stay rod or bar, the groove a may, if desired, be dispensed with, and the top or upper side of the frame A formed flat or smooth.

The frameA is provided withthe extensions or arms I) b, which are located substantially as shown, and are for the purpose of holding in proper position the bent or curved bar or bolt 13. The frame A is also provided with the elongated slots 0, which are for the purpose of beams of different widths. The clamping plate or bar E is also provided with elongated slots C, which correspond in size to the slots C.

To the bent or curved bar or bolt B is attached the top or upper end of the king-bolt F by means of the eye F and the set-screw c. This king-bolt F is provided with the extension or feather G, which fits into the recess or opening H, said recess being somewhat wider than the extension or feather G, so as to admit of a limited lateral motion of the colter arms land the colter-wheel J, so that the colterwheel will adjust itself. When it is desired to shift the colter-wheel J to the right or left a greater distance than is permitted by the recess or opening H, the set-screw c is loosened and the kingbolt moved on the bent or curved bar or bolt B to any point desired within the limits of said bolt or bar 13. It will be seen that by this peculiar arrangement the oolter proper can be adjusted to either a right or left hand plow.

To the frame A is attached the curved arm K by means of the clamping-bolt K, and for the purpose of strengthening said arm K the extensions a arelocated as shown. This curved arm K is provided with the slot d, which is for the purpose of adjusting the colter-wheel J up and down. To this curved arm K is attached the curved arm L by means of the clamping-bolt L. The bottom or lower end of the curved arm L is attached to the bottom or lower part of the king-bolt F. and is held in proper position by means of the pin or key 6.

For the purpose of securely holding the curved arms K and L in proper position with reference to each other, their meeting faces are corrugated, as shown in the drawings.

It will be seen that by providing the curved bolt B the colter-arms I, together with the colter-wheel, can be shifted for a right or left hand plow without causing the king-bolt F to bind on said bolt. 1

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the frame A, provided with the semicircular groove a and elongated slots 0, the extensions or arms bb, curved bolt B, and king-bolt F, mounted thereon, of the clamping plate or bar E, having the elongated slots 0, and the beam of aplow, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The frame A, having the semicircular groove a, ears 1;, and slots 0, and clamped to the plow-beam by the slotted bar E, in combination with the curved bolt B, king-bolt F, having cross-head and stop G, colter-arms -I, with recess H, and the adj nstable slotted arms K L, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony thatwe claim" the above we have hereunto subscribed our names in the presence of two Witnesses.
